How is money not speech? Jeff Bezos is able to buy the Washington Post (or multiple TV stations if he wanted) and can say anything he wants under the guise of free speech.

I don’t have Jeff Bezos’ resources, but if I buy a single television ad to advocate for my position I should be regulated?

I don’t see a difference between media companies publishing material and overt partisans buying advertisements.

Money isn’t speech it’s volume. Anyone can speak, the one with more money yells loudest. The constitution doesn’t guarantee the right to free screaming.
